PUMP-STAND.

Application filed August 9, 1917.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, citizen of the United States, residing at Ashland, in the county of Ashland and State of useful Improvements in Pump-Stands, of which the following is a s ecification, reference being, had therein to t e accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to pump stands and has for its object to provide a method of mounting the reservoir orair chamber of a pump. so that it maybe placed accurately in a line with the pumppmton and in? be turned so as to bring the spout into di rent positions. In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a pump stand; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged perspective of the parts con- :stituting the invention.

The invention is shown as adapted to tubular well stands, but this is merely by way of illustration. The drawing shows a well stand 1 fast to which is the ump stand 2. A pump head 3 is connects rigidly to the pump stand 2 in any desired way, the

connection here shown being made by screws 4. i The reservoir or air chamber 5 of the pump is carried on the pump stand 2 and is adapted to be supported by the stand in such a way that the reservoir may be rotated on the stand. so as to cause the spout 6 to project in any desired direction.

The pump head 3 carries two curved clamping members I ,which, as shown, are. integral with the pump head 3. Evidently theymay be made'as separate parts and fast to the pump head in any desired way. hese curved clamping members 7 are constructed to partlysurround and closely fit the upper portion 8 of the reservoir, which for this purpose is made cylindrical in shape. bolt 9 passes through the two clamping members 7 and as the radius of the curved art of these clamping members is substantially the same as the radius of the cylindrical portion 3 of the reservoir the clamping members serve to center the reservoir accurately so that it will be always in line with the piston rod 10 of the pump. Clearly, the piston rod may be operated by any desired mechanism, that shown comprising the usual handle it being merely for illustration.

To poe tion the reservoir 5 on the pump th chlpmzmunbm'lare permitted to Specification of Letters Patent.

expand slightly by withdrawing the bolt 9. whereupon the-reservoir may be placed on the pump stand in its proper position. The clamping members 7 are then tightened around the cylindrical portion is of the reservoir by tightening the bolt 9 whereby the reservoir is centered accurately relatively to the pump stand and the piston rod, thus preventing any binding of the rod as it moves up and down through thereservoir.

It will be understood that the papt 5 has been referred to as a reservoir or air chamber by way of illustration only. The invention is well adapted to pumps having submergedcylinders, in which cases a reservoir or air chamber is desirable, but it is also equally valuable 'in connection with other types of pump. It

pu having a pump cylinder.

lli liile I have shown and described one embodiment of the invention it'will' be underand a reservoir supported by said pump stand, and two clamping members fast to said pump head, and partly surrounding the upper ent of said reservoir.

'2. In a pump, a pump stand, o pump head and a reservoir supported by said pump stand. said reservoir having a cylindrical portion,

andpartly surrounding said cylindrical port on of said' reservoir. i

3. In a pump, a pump stand, a pump head and a. reservoir su ported by said pump stand. said reservoir having a cylindrical portion, two curved clamping members fast to said pump head and partly surrounding said cylindrical portion of said reservoir, and fastening means passing through said pump head and said clamping members, and serving to draw said clamping members tightl against said reservoir.

n a pump, a,pum stand. a reservoir rotetably carried by sai stand, a pump head and two curved clampiugr'nembers: fast to said pump head may, for example, be employed on the ordinary lift'or suction fast to said pump stand, and clamping members carried by said pump head and within which said reservoir rotates. 4

5. In a pump, a pump stand, a reservoir rotatabl carried by said stand and having a c lin rical portion, a pump head fast to sai pump stand, and curved clamping members carried by said pump head and adjustable tosurround tightly the cylindrical portion of said reservoir.

6. In a pump, a pump stand, a reservoir rotatabl carried by said stand and having a cylin rical portion, a pump head fast to said pump stand, curved clamping members carried by said pump head and adjustable to surround the cylindrical portion of said reservoir, and fastening means passing through said clamping members, and serving to draw said members tightly against the cylindrical portion of said reservoir.

n a pump, a pumpstand, a reservoir rotatably supported by an id stand and having a cylindrical portion, a pump head fast to said pump stand, and extending alongside said cylindrical portion of said reservoir, two curved clamping plates fast to said pump head, and closely surrounding the cylindrical portion of said reservoir, and a bolt passing through said clamping plates and serving to draw them tightly against the cylindrical portion of said reservoir.

In testimony whereof, I ufliv my signature.
